Setting up an
Internet Service
Provider (ISP)
Account
An ISP gives you access to
the Internet. Just as you
need an account with a
cable company to have
cable service, you must also
have an ISP account to
access the Internet and to
use eMail.
After setting up your
Internet connection, you can
press the Instant Internet ∆
button on your Internet
keyboard, and then like
magic—you’re on the Web!
If you have problems
connecting to an ISP, call the
ISP for assistance.
